Ambulatory arterial stiffness index: determinants and outcome.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that one minus the slope of diastolic on systolic blood pressure in individual 24-h ambulatory blood pressure recordings (ambulatory arterial stiffness index) might reflect arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular mortality. METHODS In volunteers and a population recruited in China, we studied concordance between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and establis...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index: rationale and methodology.
OBJECTIVES Increased arterial stiffness is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and may even predict its development at an early stage. Increased pulse pressure is seen as a marker of increased arterial stiffness and can be readily measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. We propose another surrogate measure of arterial stiffness derived from ambulatory blood press...
متن کاملIncreased ambulatory arterial stiffness index is associated with target organ damage in primary hypertension.
Increased arterial stiffness has been shown to predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with primary hypertension. Asymptomatic organ damage is known to precede cardiovascular events. We investigated the relationship between a recently proposed index of stiffness derived from ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and target organ damage in 188 untreated patients with primary hypertension. Ambulato...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index derived from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
We hypothesized that 1 minus the slope of diastolic on systolic pressure during 24-hour ambulatory monitoring (ambulatory arterial stiffness index [AASI]) might reflect arterial stiffness. We compared AASI with established measures of arterial stiffness and studied its distribution in Chinese and European populations. We used 90207 SpaceLabs monitors and the SphygmoCor device to measure AASI, c...
متن کاملHypertension and arterial stiffness in heart transplantation patients
OBJECTIVES Post-transplantation hypertension is prevalent and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and subsequent graft dysfunction. The present study aimed to identify the factors associated with arterial stiffness as measured by the ambulatory arterial stiffness index. METHODS The current study used a prospective, observational, analytical design to evaluate a group of adul...
